It made all time high of Rs. 440 (adjusted price) on 09 Jan'12. Suzlon is great company, which went from the steady growth path to huge losses after the acquisition of the German company Senvion in the year 2007.

Though it has been the most frustrating stock for the investors in last decade yet it has become almost double from its all time low. It's all because of the debt management by the company, the company is continuously focusing on debt reduction. Punters of the stock market are again considering it to be a 'multibagger stock', market whispers make Suzlon a turnaround story in upcoming years. Some of them say it would be a multibagger stock in 2020 while some are still worrying to lose their capital. Let's see what's going on in Suzlon....👀

 The Turnaround... 


After posting continuous losses since 2008, Suzlon eventually become profitable with a profit of Rs. 483 Cr in FY 2016.

In the word of Mr Tulsi R Tanti, Chairman and Managing Director, Suzlon;
"We are back in profit, our startup MW increased by more than 100%, and we are confident to maintain growth focus on implementation. The Indian market is expected to increase by 30% in 2016-17 and Suzlon continue to exceed industry. Worldwide demand for renewable energy increases with the installation of 64 GW and a record investment 329 billion US dollars during the calendar year 2015. The demand for clean energy, sustainable and affordable continue, particularly in emerging markets."

 Debt management 
Suzlon Energy has already started reducing on its debt by selling it's non-core assets.  As per Tulsi Tanti the chairman and managing director Suzlon is likely to exit the debt restructuring program within one year after the recent infusion of capital and the recovery of unconventional energy demand in the third largest Asian economy.
Earlier Suzlon had a total debt around Rs 17,000 crore then it raised about Rs 7,200 crore through sale of it's German subsidiary Senvion in late 2015. The management used about Rs 6,000 crore to repay it's loans and pushed Rs 1,200 crore to fund it's operations. They further issued foreign currency convertible bonds valued at Rs 3,000 crore which they believe will be converted into equity next year. While remaining debt of Rs 7,500 crore includes low interest dollar denominated worth Rs 4,000 crore and Rs 3,500 crore worth working capital loans. The management further assured that there will be no principal payments till 2019 and by the next financial year, its interest costs will reduce 50 per cent to Rs 800 crore from Rs 1,600 crore now. (Business Standard, 2016).

    Suzlon is ready to list its maintenance arm to reduce debt    


'Suzlon Global Services'  is the subsidiary company of Suzlon Energy Limited which is considered to be its maintenance arm, the company is willing to issue public offers (IPO) in days to come. As per the report published on moneycontrol on 17th feb, 2016 Suzlon Energy Ltd is exploring the possibility of listing its subsidiary company 'Suzlon Global Services' to offset the debt of its parents. Suzlon Global Services is wholly-owned by Suzlon, which in turn is 100% owned by Suzlon Energy. "The IPO will make Suzlon Global debt free," said the official, adding that the company could seek to increase Rs 2,000 crore through this IPO.

Mehraboon Irani of Nirmal Bang Securities See Suzlon Energy as a potential multibagger and told CNBC-TV18,

 Suzlon Energy's shares, which we wished only from the perspective of people who want to punt with stocks like JP Industries, Punj Lloyd, Suzlon, IFCI, UNITECH. If you want to pick one particular goods of all this trash would be Suzlon because somewhere along the line, despite the fact that the balance sheet was in very bad condition, was expressed serious attempts are likely to work on it. It belongs to the segment that ultimately would come into focus in particular within the new government and is now the answer is very clear, with Sun Pharma taking an interest directly or indirectly in this company. At Rs 18-20 equity participation possibly could to be multibagger. I do not ask investors, especially those who believe in pure fundamentals go and buy into it. However, 5 percent of the money, I always believe should ride in this type of inventory where you can possibly provide much better returns than the overall market can give you. Suzlon Energy to me qualifies as a bet in the segment, read more>>>
HDFC Securities' research report on Suzlon Energy HDFC reiterates BUY on Suzlon with a Target Price of Rs 24/share (10x Dec-18E EV/EBITDA).


In the word of HDFC Securities;
The results of Suzlon Energy (SUEL) 3QFY17 were a hit in all counts with a volume of 462 MW (+ 80% YoY) and EBITDA margins of 22.5% (+ 490bps YoY) - resulting in a disproportionate APAT of Rs 3.0 Bn. The improvement in EBITDA margins was driven by the operating leverage advantage and a positive sales mix (lower EPC). In addition, SUEL is actively pursuing value creation in subsidiaries (SE Forge and Services Business) for a substantial reduction in debt. As a result, we are reiterating BUY on Suzlon energy with a Target Price of Rs 24 / share (10x Dec-18E EV / EBITDA). Read more; HDFC research report on Suzlon pdf

  Multiple triggers for a multibagger in making  


 Internal Triggers: 
  • The Worst is now over last year was the turnaround year for Suzlon energy. The company managed net profit of 483 crores in Fy 2016-17. 
  • The company recorded 1130 MW sales volume which let a 149% increase over the previous year.
  • Market Experts say it has bottomed out and now they are giving aggressive target in Suzlon brokerage house Nomura, HSBC and HDFC Securities have rated wind turbine firm Suzlon Energy as a ‘buy'. While some clearly identified it as a potential multibagger stock in India.
  • Debt Management : The company is nicely managing its debt, they have reduced it significantly by selling it's subsidiary in Germany, issuing NCDs and further has a plan to offer public issue of its maintenance arm Suzlon Global. Market Experts and brokerage houses are expecting a multibagger return in suzlon once it becomes a debt free company.
  • Sun pharma’s promoter Dilip Sanghvi has huge investment in Suzlon
  • 2015-16 has been a turnaround for the company where it managed a net profit of 483 crores.The company has turned into a profit making company in recent quarters too and  posted back-to-back two successful quarters with robust topline, nice bottomline and handsome profit margins which further manifests the turnaround story in the company. In last two consecutive quarters, gross margins are also in the range of 44 - 46%  which might help the Suzlon to be a multibagger stock, if sustains.
  • Consolidated net debt of the company has brought down from 16,500 crores to 7,500 crores and it still working on debt management.
  • The order book of the company is growing nicely. The inflow of new orders reflects the increased interests and investments of independent producers in the wind sector and the company is convinced that demand for PPIs will continue to grow. (Suzlon Group CEO J P Chalasani  said to ET)
  • The company has now reached to a milestone of 10,000 MW production in India. Two new rotor blade factory was put into operation in Andhra Pradesh and Rajasthan.

  •  Suzlon is a leader in the wind energy space and it has recently entered into the solar space. The company is expecting solar energy to compliment wind energy so The company is now well positioned as a supplier of multidimensional solutions. We can expect Suzlon to offer wind-solar hybrid solutions in near future.
  • The company has recently strengthened its top level management by appointing two prominent personalities namely JP Chalasani as CEO and Rakesh Sarin as CEO of international operations. 


 External Triggers; 
  • Government of India has an ambitious target of 5000 MW per year for wind energy in upcoming years. Suzlon is having 14 manufacturing facilities in India and it has it's active presence in all nine windy states which makes it well placed to take full advantages of this opportunity.
  • Credit rating agency CARE revised suzlon's rating from BBB- to BBB for all it's domestic operations, and A- for it's international operations. We can hope further improvement of its rating once the company become debt-free.
  •  Dilip Shanghvi the promoter of Sun Pharma and his family has good stake (around 34%) in suzlon. This leads a positive sentiment in market and will boost the confidence among retail investors in India. Hence Sun Pharma taking an interest directly or indirectly in this company.
  • Entire world is shifting towards renewable energy which is good signal for business prospect of Suzlon.
 Summing it up....


Now that Suzlon Energy has transformed into a profitable company, renewable energy sources take time to grow, and debt reduction will bring more benefits to its shareholders. Market experts are positive towards Suzlon and are approaching aggressive price targets. Some brokerage houses believe that Suzlon is a turnaround story. While there are many triggers in Suzlon that could make it a multibagger stock in the near future, the board must prove effective in restructuring the remaining debt and gaining the trust of its stakeholders.

  2. As per market experts Suzlon Assumptions in FY19:
    Will do about 2000MW that is approximately 14000Cr of Topline, with 20% margin gives it 2800cr of EBITDA, add 500Cr from Maintenance business and 100Cr from Foundry, Total EBITDA OF 3400cr, giving it 10x gives 34000 less 6500 debt gives 27500 divide it by 600cr shares (adjusted for FCCB) gives a target of Rs. 45/-
